ST. JAMES' TREBLE CHOIR

We are excited to announce the formation of St. James’ Treble Choir. For hundreds of years treble voices with their clarity and unlimited capability, have been tasked with leading liturgical worship. Participation in St. James’ Treble choir offers a wonderful opportunity for our young people to connect with our worship traditions, the Word of God, and each other through the learning and sharing of sacred music. The Treble Choir will participate regularly in Sunday Eucharist services and in special choral services throughout the year. Singers with treble voices grades 4 and up are encouraged to join. Jonathan Trotter, St. James’ Choirmaster, will lead the choir and rehearsals will begin on Wednesday September 9 from 5:00 pm to 5:45 pm in the Choir Room. The choir will meet weekly and our Fall term will conclude in mid December. A full schedule of rehearsals and services will be provided. You can confirm your singer’s participation by filling out the form using the QR below. A brief meeting for parents of interested singers will be held on Wednesday, August 26, at 5:15 in the Choir Room. Please reach out to Jonathan Trotter at jtrotter@stjjax.org or 501-250-3975 or to Jess Eddleman jeddleman@stjjax.org with any questions.

 

JOIN THE CHOIR AT ST. JAMES’

If you are interested in becoming part of our vocal music ministry, we would love to have you with us. We will rehearse each Wednesday from 6:00-7:30 pm. Members of the choir sing at both the 8:40 and 11:05 Sunday services and offer other sung services throughout the year. In St. James’ choir you truly could not find a more welcoming group or a safer space to share and to grow your vocal gifts.  Feel free to contact Jonathan Trotter at jtrotter@stjjax.org, with any questions you may have!

FLOWERS ON THE ALTAR

If you are interested in giving flowers for a month either in thanksgiving or in loving memory of anyone, call Kathy Stephens at 601-982-4880 or
email her at kstephens@stjjax.org. The cost of this is $50 and the flowers are published in our 7:30 am service leaflets, in our Sunday announcements,
and on our website for the month. This is a perfect way to remember someone or to say thank you.

WATCH OUT FOR SCAMMERS!

Please be aware that scammers have gotten some of our work email addresses and our cell phone numbers and are sending out emails and texts that look like they come from St. James' staff. If you receive one of these please know that we would never reach out to you and ask you for money or for you to buy gift cards, etc. Usually, you can tell from the extension on the email that it is fraud. All of St. James' staff emails have our first initial and last name followed by @stjjax.org. Call the church office to verify our cell numbers. If you have any doubt at all please call our office at 601-982-4880.

MEMORIALS AT THE COLUMBARIA


Flowers and mementos left on the columbarium as memorials are a normal part of grieving and are allowed by the Church. Memorials may not be left at either of the inside columbaria. Only fresh flowers may be placed on the outside columbarium. St. James' will remove all flowers once they start to wilt. Mementos left on the outside columbarium will be removed daily. Due to the possibility of breakage and injury, glass of any sort is not allowed on the columbarium.
